indicating a transverse section of myelinated nerve fibers. (D) Electron microscopy of a myelinated axon in a mouse optic nerve at higher magnification. The axon is surrounded by multilamellar ...

The hypothesis that it disrupts the function of retinal ganglion cell axons by increasing mechanical forces on the lamina cribrosa of the optic nerve head has received considerable experimental ...

We are investigating the mechanisms by which cancer mutations deregulate the normal processes of cellular function and growth ...

The fiber that conducts the nerve impulse is a tubelike structure. Its operation can be studied by squeezing the contents out of the giant axon of the squid and replacing them with various solutions ...

A research team has established an innovative intracranial pre-olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN) optic tract injury model ... primarily because axons often fail to regenerate and rebuild functional ...

Partially sponsored by NurExone, the preclinical study was conducted independently in an academic setting and offered potential confirmation of PTEN downregulation as a strategy to promote axon ...

However, optic nerve regeneration and restoration of vision in patients with glaucoma is still far from reality. Neuroprotective approaches in the form of gene therapy may provide significant ...

Glaucoma is a disease in which the nerve of the eye (the optic nerve) is gradually damaged over time, resulting in a loss of vision. This disease is often associated with increased eye pressure.
